CoRNELIsoN RELEASED.
LOUISVILLE, May 6.-John j. Cor
Nelson, who assaulted and cowhided
Judge Reid, causing the latter to sui
aeff nd M To sasl For
three years, was released on a writ of
habeas corpus by Magistrate Stofer.
The affair has created a sensation mas
much as his release amounts to mag
istrate's court overruling the decision
of the court of appeals. Themagistrate,
Stofer, decides that the old common
law of England and Virginia, upon
which the Imprisonment of Cornelison
was predicated. does enter into the
statutes of Kentucky, and that conse-
quently the imprisonment was illegal.
Lawyers say-that Stofer has placed
himself in the contempt of the court of
appeals. Cornelison is on the street
to-day attending to business.
